CTAN Update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

On Sun, 20 Nov 2011 Dominik Waßenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package. Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: Yes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- version 1.4 This version of biblatex-dw was tested with biblatex 1.7 and requires at least version 1.6 of biblatex. - BUGFIX: With @review entries cited by fullcite or footfullcite the reviewed work was not printed in full. This is now fixed. - BUGFIX: With shorthandinbib=true and terselos=false, the shorthand was printed twice in the list of shorthands. This is now fixed. - The smartcite commands introduced by biblatex 1.2 are now supported. - The extcite and extcites commands are now also supported by footnote-dw. - New command extcitesdelim: delimiter between author names when using extcites. The default is: addspaceibstring{and}space - New option seriesformat which can take the values standard and parens. If set to parens, the series of a book etc. will be printed in parentheses, otherwise without (as is the biblatex standard behaviour). The default value for this option is parens (as was the behaviour in earlier biblatex-dw versions). - New option editorstringfont which can take the values normal and namefont. With normal, the normal font is used, with namefont, the setting for the option namefont is also used for the editor string (and translator string etc.). The default value for this option is normal. - New option editionstring: If set to true, the bibliography string edition will be added to the edition field, even if it is not an INT. Thus, you can type, e.g., edition = {2., aktualisierte} in your bib file and you will get 2., aktualisierte Aufl. (or, with option abbreviate=false: 2., aktualisierte Auflage). editionstring=false will give biblatex’s default behaviour. The default for this option is false. - New entry option oldbookauthor which is equivalent to oldauthor but for the bookauthor (this is useful for @inbook entries representing, e.g., an introduction to an edition of a work by an author that should not be typeset in the usual font for last names). This option can be set on a per entry basis and can be disabled with the global option oldauthor=false. - Improved options namefont, firstnamefont, idemfont and ibidemfont which are now aware of the setting of the biblatex option punctfont. - Small bugfix for the xref functionality. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-dw (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

by CTAN Announcements 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

On Sat, 19 Nov 2011 H.-Martin Münch submitted an update to the tablefootnote package. Summary description: footnotes in tables License type: lppl Announcement text: Yes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - amstext, setspace, and subcaption package as well as e-TeX extension are no longer required by tablefootnote - lscape and pdflscape package now work with tablefootnote (except for using a sidewaystable on a landscape page) - Added footnotesymbol-footnote-numbers in the example. - Several details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tablefootnote .
